I followed the directions and installed wine from wineHQ and ran
winecfg. All that seems to work well and the program starts. The
problem is that it needs to know that its working directory is the
directory that it started up in or something, because it needs a .tkn
file that is included but it is not being found.
The actual .exe runs.
Any suggestions?
